Architectural Services we Provide

The Architectural Services we Provide

We produce plans for extensions, loft conversions, garden rooms and new build, then consult with the local council and apply for planning permission on your behalf, if required. Within our Architectural Services we also supply Building Regulations and offer structural engineer and SAP calculations if needed. In fact everything to get you to the build stage.

From initial concept, feasibility study and architectural design, through to approval for planning permission and building regulations, we manage the whole process through our full range of Architectural Services to deal with the local authorities, and your builders.

We will advise you on all planning issues, helping you to decide which route to take – Permitted Development or Full Planning application, and can provide a fast reliable service using the latest technology in 3D visualisation to speed up a process which has traditionally been quite slow.

Homeplan DesignsArchitectural Services are experts in permitted development and can advise if your project will fall within these Government guidelines.

A very important part of the Requirement to Build, is to have Building Specifications, for your builder to build the project, so as to comply with the Building Regulations. NOTE that even if a project doesn’t need a planning permission, (i.e. it is permitted development), it will always need an approval under the Building Regulations which is Statutory requirement in Law. We at Homeplan Designs are fully versed with the Building Regulations – these are needed so that building is built watertight, insulated so as to be meet thermal requirements, and of course be structurally sound.

We specialise in cost saving specifications that will save money on the build cost, which can offer a reduction in the contract times and reduce the environmental impact.
